LIFEPAK 1000 Defibrillator Operating Instructions 3-3

How to Use the LIFEPAK 1000 Defibrillator
DEFIBRILLATION IN AED MODE
The LIFEPAK 1000 defibrillator uses the patented Physio-Control Shock Advisory System to
evaluate the patient’s heart rhythm. The LIFEPAK 1000 defibrillator has an optional feature that
displays the ECG waveform and Heart Rate Indicator in AED mode. The operation in AED mode
remains the same whether or not the defibrillator displays the ECG waveform. When
ECG
DISPLAY
is set to ON, the ECG appears with all of the AED messages and prompts. When ECG
DISPLAY
is set to OFF, the messages and prompts fill the screen.
Basic Steps for Using the LIFEPAK 1000 Defibrillator
1 Establish that the patient is in cardiopulmonary arrest (the
patient must be unresponsive, not breathing normally and
showing no signs of circulation).
2 Press
ON/OFF to turn on the defibrillator (the green LED
illuminates). Voice prompts will sound, guiding you through the
rescue process.
3 Prepare the patient for therapy electrode placement.
If possible, place the patient on a hard surface away from
standing water.
Remove clothing from the patient's upper torso.
Remove excessive hair from the electrode sites. If shaving is
necessary, avoid cutting the skin.
Clean the skin and dry it briskly with a towel or gauze.
Do not apply alcohol, tincture of benzoin, or antiperspirant to
the skin.
4 Open the therapy electrode packet and remove the electrodes.
Slowly peel back the protective liner on the electrodes,
beginning with the cable connection end. Safely discard the
liner to prevent slipping.
5 Apply the therapy electrodes to the patient's chest. Starting
from one end, press the electrodes firmly onto the patient's
skin, as shown.

Infant/Child Reduced Energy Defibrillation electrodes. Do not use
Pediatric QUIK-COMBO electrodes; these electrodes do not
attenuate the energy delivery by this defibrillator.
